Study Summary

Currently different materials are used to close the skin after a cesarean delivery, including absorbable suture, non-absorbable suture and staples. It is not known what is the best choice of material to close the skin after a cesarean section, but commonly staples or dissolvable suture is used. Recently plastic surgeons have found that non-dissolvable suture may have a better cosmetic outcome than staples. The investigators hope to learn if there is a difference in pain both at suture/staple removal and 6 weeks postoperatively between Prolene suture, Absorbable suture (monocryl or vicryl) or staples. The investigators also plan to look for differences in wound complications and patient satisfaction, as well as operating and removal times. This knowledge will be important in helping practitioners choose the closure technique at cesarean delivery.
